Unexpected End of JSON Input in Laravel Intellisense Extension

[felixhaeberle]

Description

Encountered a SyntaxError due to an unexpected end of JSON input within the Laravel Intellisense extension for Visual Studio Code. This error arises during the parsing process, potentially indicating an issue with malformed or incomplete JSON data being supplied to JSON.parse.

Error Details

• Type: SyntaxError
• Message: Unexpected end of JSON input
• Location: JSON.parse within ViewItemProvider.ts at line 63:30
• Handled: No

Stack Trace

• JSON.parse invocation leading to error
• In c:\Users\plusg\.vscode\extensions\mohamedbenhida.laravel-intellisense-0.2.0\src\ViewItemProvider.ts at line 63:30
• Followed by internal Node.js processes for task queues and timers management.

Potential Issue

The error suggests that JSON.parse is called with a string that does not form a valid JSON structure, possibly due to an incomplete or improperly formatted JSON data source.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use the Laravel Intellisense extension (version 0.2.0) in a project within VSCode on Windows.
2. Trigger an action that involves parsing JSON data through the extension's ViewItemProvider.ts.
3. The error occurs if the JSON data being parsed is incomplete or improperly formatted.

Expected Behavior

The Laravel Intellisense extension should correctly parse valid JSON input without throwing syntax errors, facilitating the expected intellisense features for Laravel projects.

Actual Behavior

The extension throws a syntax error during JSON parsing due to unexpected end of input, indicating an issue with the JSON data being processed.

Suggested Fix

• Ensure that all JSON data sources used by the extension are valid and complete before attempting to parse them with JSON.parse.
• Implement error handling for JSON.parse to catch and manage syntax errors gracefully, possibly logging an informative error message or providing a fallback mechanism.
• Validate JSON data for completeness and proper format before it is consumed by the extension's features.
